SJR 68 Kentucky Senate · 2025 Regular Session

A JOINT RESOLUTION designating the Johnnie L. Turner Memorial Highway in Harlan County.

This bill designates a 9.5-mile segment of Kentucky Route 221 in Harlan County (from mile 8.9 to 18.4) as the "Johnnie L. Turner Memorial Highway." It memorializes Johnnie L. Turner, a longtime Harlan County attorney, former Kentucky state legislator (House and Senate), and advocate for Eastern Kentucky who died in October 2024. The resolution requires the Transportation Cabinet to install signage within 30 days of enactment. As a commemorative resolution, it does not change laws or regulations but honors a local figure through highway naming.
